Sweet chilli dipping sauce

Try our lower natural sugar version of a sweet chilli dipping sauce.

Makes about 125ml/1/2 cup

Ingredients

• 1 red pepper (bell pepper), quartered and deseeded
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled
• 2 red chillies (seeds left in if you like it spicy), roughly chopped
• 1 large tomato, quartered
• 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 6 tbsp runny honey
• Himalayan salt and ground black pepper

Method

1. Blitz the (bell) pepper, garlic, chillies and tomato together in food processor, or chop very finely by hand, then stir in the vinegar, honey and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a small frying pan and place over a high heat until it bubbles and is heated through, then lower the heat and simmer the sauce to reduce for 10 minutes or so. Taste, adjust the seasoning if needed, then leave to cool.

Tips and notes

Add more chilli if you prefer a spicier flavour. You can also add a little cornflour (cornstarch) for a thicker consistency.
